Chemical energy in a battery turns into electrical energy in a radio, which turns into mechanical
energy as sound waves bombard your eardrums and enable you to hear the radio. Why does
this happen?
- because of the law of conservation of mass-energy, which tells us that the amount of mass
that was used from the battery was traveling at the speed of light, and because E=mc2, the
mass turned into the exact amount of energy that bombarded your eardrums
- because of the law of definite proportions, which tells us that the proportion of battery
chemicals always comes in whole number proportions
- because of the law of conservation of energy, which tells us that the amount of energy that
was used from the battery is the same amount of energy that reached your eardrums
- because of the law of conservation of mass, which tells us that the mass of the part of the
battery that was used is the same as the mass of the soun - answer✔- because of the law of
conservation of energy, which tells us that the amount of energy that was used from the
battery is the same amount of energy that reached your eardrums
